How Do I Stop

[nailit]

my laptop from shutting down (more precisely going 'black screen') when on the internet but not useing?
Thanks

[nailit]

presume its something to do with settings,

Where it says 'ask me anything', type 'power settings'. It'll give you various options in there.

It's probably going into battery saving mode. Shuts down thinking you've gone to sleep.

Go into settings and have a look in 'power and sleep' you will be able to change the time periods at which the screen shuts down.

[ummmm]

Mine starts back up again by just touching the touch pad.

Haha Nails you can set time out on your account settings, and a screen saver, and background colours. Windows 4 pane, yeh, cog wheel yeh, Personalisation , Account settings, System. All in there for you to play with. (^_*)

Thanks guys, just done as suggested.
Also found that if left untended (and it goes to 'black screen') internet runs a little slower, why is this?

[Togo]

Auto saving your data usage Nails. Plus you aint there so why give you any priority?

Check your power settings, that's my advice!
